Glashagh [Lower] is a coastal sea angling location situated along the rugged northwest coastline of County Donegal, Ireland. The bay features a steep-to beach composed of sand and shingle, with water depths reaching up to 7 metres very close to shore — a characteristic that makes it particularly productive for shore anglers who can access deep water without the need for a boat. This is a relatively undiscovered gem on the Donegal coast, seeing very little angling pressure, which means those who make the effort to visit are often rewarded with excellent sport. The surrounding landscape is dramatic and wild, typical of northwest Donegal's exposed Atlantic coastline, with high rocks flanking the eastern end of the beach and cleaner, sandier ground extending to the west.

The western end of the beach, where the ground is cleaner and sandier, is the most productive area for bottom fishing targeting flatfish and codling. The steep-to profile of the entire beach means deep water is accessible along most of its length. The high rocks on the eastern end of the bay offer an alternative vantage point and may hold different species, particularly those associated with rocky ground.
